Beautiful piece of flamenco. Wonderful to see Cash appreciate his fluid and intricate picking of this classical composition of sombre ear candy, giving such praise and compliments.
It was about 1969 when I was blessed to see The Masters Festival of Music in my then hometown of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Maybe I was about 18 years old at the time. After the show I snuck backstage ( where I got the nerve from I don't know) just as Chet and the guys were fixin' to leave....I got autographs from Chet, Jerry and Boots but didn't ask for Floyd's. It haunts me to this day that I may have hurt his feelings. Hopefully I can make amends when I meet up with him in Heaven....at least I hope so. I was so nervous as Chet set down his guitar case to sign his name that I could only stammer...." wha, wha, what can I say....you are a genius" to which he replied "well, thank ya" then I asked Jerry who made his guitar ....why I don't know....I think his reply was "oh, a friend in Texas made it for me" and that was that.....I was on cloud 9 for weeks.

Atkins plays Recuerdos de la Alhambra. Beatiful masterpiece
Chet Atkins a Master of his craft.
